Could probably not be so blunt.
He could very well live for another 5+ years. If it was agressive and spread they wouldn't have operated, the fact they did means he has a chance of being around for a few more years yet.
Definitely not intending to be insensitive, as on reflection my post is.
Surgery could relate to any number of diagnostic procedures some of which are taxing.
Point is that mesothelioma is a disaster.
The only type I've heard of going into remission is testicular because it can be cut away (it's also an extremely rare form of meso). You'd think the news would be a bit more positive if that was the case.
1 year would be the average diagnosis. There is a less aggressive form not of the lungs that might give him 2 years but it's meant to be horrendously painful and it's another very rare form of meso.
